DFA Cheese Recognized at Industry Contest

NMPF’s contest serves as a platform for cooperatives from across the country to showcase their top products and recognize the individuals who make them. The annual event was the first cheese competition that utilized grading standards to improve cheese quality, and to display such quality in a competitive forum. This year’s competition drew 176 entries, a record number.

“We are honored to be recognized among so many of the best of the dairy industry,” says Mark Korsmeyer, executive vice president of DFA and president of DFA’s Global Dairy Products Group (GDPG). “Our employees work hard every day to produce high-quality products, and this recognition validates their commitment and dedication.”

Through GDPG, DFA produces retail cheese and butter, foodservice cheese and butter and a wide range of dairy protein ingredients. The Cooperative’s consumer brands include Borden® Cheese and Butter, Keller’s® Butter, Plugrá® Butter and Cache Valley® Cheese, among others. GDPG also is a leading contract manufacturer of shelf-stable products for national and international food companies.
